Chapter 222 A Child For Two Billion.

Upon her arrival at Rainsworth Manor, Cecilia had breakfast with Nathaniel. Shortly after, she received a text

message from Elena.

In the text, Elena said she wanted to see Cecilia as there were things she needed to discuss with her.

Cecilia then relayed the information to Nathaniel.

“Just say no if you don’t want to go,” Nathaniel stated firmly.

Cecilia couldn't tell whether he was being sincere or just saying that out of courtesy.

“l can go.”

She then got up to meet Elena.

In the garden outside, Elena, dressed in a traditional gown, was personally watering the flowers. Upon noticing

Cecilia's arrival, she handed the watering can to her housekeeper.

“Replace all those that didn’t bloom.”

“Understood.”

She intentionally made the statement in front of Cecilia, using it as a metaphor to imply the latter's decision of

not having children.

Naturally, Cecilia understood the implications of her words. Her expression remained calm and composed as the

two of them got into the car one after the other.

Throughout the journey, Elena was unusually calm.

“You know, | recently cacross this adorable kid who remarkably resembles Nathaniel during his childhood

days.”

Cecilia's gaze tensed up, thinking she had discovered something, only to hear her continue, “It's such a shame

that he’s not Nathaniel’s child.”

Cecilia's heart was still on edge. “You should know the reason we don’t have children is not solely

my fault.”

Of course, Elena knew that in the three years since they got married, the number of nights Nathaniel spent at

hcould be counted with one’s fingers.

“I just wanted to ask you if there has been any improvement between you two now?”

Elena knew she could no longer rely on Stella.

The last time, she had witnessed Cecilia and Nathaniel passionately kissing in the room. As such, all she could do

was pin her hopes on Cecilia.

Cecilia gave a slight nod.

A glimmer of joy flashed in Elena’s eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm. “I admit, what | did back then

was wrong. From now on, as long as you're carrying Nathaniel’s child, | promise to treat both you and the child

well.”

The only thing that could make the once-proud heiress of the Griffiths family, known to the outside world as an

iron lady, lower her head was probably having a grandson.

Compared to her initial aggressiveness, Elena was now exceptionally gentle. She held Cecilia's hand, her gaze

sincere as she said, “I'll give you whatever you want.”

Cecilia knew she had ulterior motives for her actions, which was why she promptly withdrew her hand.

“I can’t make any promises regarding this matter,” she said.

Elena’s smile froze. “A child for two billion. What do you say?”

She paused, then added, “Of course, after you becpregnant, it is essential to have a comprehensive check-

up. | don’t want the child to be born with any health issues. Also, after the child is born, it’s crucial that someone

from the Rainsworth family takes responsibility.”

The meaning behind Elena’s words was crystal clear. She didn’t want the child to suffer from Cecilia’s hearing

impairness.

Two billion to bear a child, and the responsibility is to be handed over to the members of the Rainsworth family

and after the child is born... How is this any different from selling one’s child?

Cecilia couldn’t help but break into a wry smile. The people of the Rainsworth family were indeed all the same,

always so generous when they made their offers.

“Mdm. Elena, you might have misunderstood something. | have enough money to sustain my own lifestyle, and

even if | had a child, | can take good care of my child.”

Elena wanted to continue persuading Cecilia, but the car had already arrived at the preschool gate.

Upon seeing the familiar preschool, shock filled Cecilia's eyes.

How did Elena end up here?

The children were let out of school early today. Not long after, they all emerged from the school building.

As Cecilia stepped out of the car, her eyes immediately landed on a familiar figure in the crowd. It had been a

while since she had seen Jonathan, and she felt an overwhelming urge to rush over and scoop him up in her

arms.

But now, she couldn't let Jonathan see her. Elena would definitely hear it if he called out to her.
